The Party Kitchen (TPK for short) is a pioneering online restaurant concept in Manila that specializes in party celebration food with servicing kitchen located in Taguig, Pasig and Quezon City.

We celebrated my monthsary of working with the Animo DX Team at DLSU Taft with my favorite celebration food from The Party Kitchen.

The TPK menu is especially created by Executive Chef Regina “Ging” Carsi Cruz, who trained at the California Culinary Academy. It’s not your ordinary take out food that you can get from a restaurant. The food is designed for celebrations at home or in the office and carefully planned to be transported.

Our favorite General’s Lechon finally opened their first retail store at the Uptown Food Hall, offering lechon in 5 different ways!

Ever since 2011, when we first tried it and it got featured in the Ultimate Taste Test, the quality has been consistent over the years. They have been hesitant to open a store for years, and it is only until recently that they finally opened a food hall outlet.

Single Origin, our go-to place for meeting friends over good drinks, now serves simple home-cooked Italian food in this corner bistro in Salcedo. It’s a quaint place for Italian comfort food—pizza and pasta or bistecca (steak) if you want to indulge in it.

In the battle of the new Osterias in Manila, here’s what to expect at the Osteria version of Single Origin.

We’re now in a Golden Age of Philippine Restaurants and Hotels that we’ve never experienced before.

In the first six months of this year alone, over 500 new restaurants opened … and that’s only all over Metro Manila! The construction boom in hotels and resorts all over the country is likewise accelerating at a rapid pace.

Every month, every week, and almost every day it seems, there’s a new restaurant opening its doors. There are a lot of great new dining choices, side by side with the perennials, the classics that we grew up with. As food bloggers, writers, and members of the F&B industry, we’re always very curious about the crowd favorites. The popular vote, if you will. What are the beloved favorites? Let the voice of the people be heard!

Our Awesome Planet, the country’s #1 food blog and one of the Top 50 travel blogs in the world; and the Food Writer and Blogger Collective known as the KTG (Kain Tulog Gang); together with the prestigious World Food Expo (WOFEX), The Ultimate Food Show Experience, have partnered to conduct the People’s Choice for the Favorite Food, Restaurants, Hotels, and Chefs …. Or simply, “The Choice”.
